I know the Minister is only new to the job, but I wanted her to comment on what I believe is the greatest welfare scandal in the country, namely, the fact there has been a doubling of the number of children in homeless accommodation, as well as a doubling of the number of adults. There is no greater task ahead of the Minister than resolving this issue, and I would like to hear how she proposes to do that.
